The doughnut thing reminded me of a conversation I had with my supervisor (who was a real nasty POS) years ago.
She sent me to the company cafeteria to pick up some documents from the chef & bring them to her. The chef told me to let everyone in my work area know that there was a box of doughnuts for whoever wanted them.
When I got back to my work area, I started working on a project & I forgot about the doughnuts. An hour later, the chef called my supervisor & asked why no one was interested in the doughnuts. I heard my supervisor yell, "What doughnuts; nobody told us about any doughnuts?"
After she got off the phone, she threw a huge hissy fit at me, yelling at me & asking, "Why the hell didn't you mention the free doughnuts...don't you care about your fellow man?"
I replied, "Yes, I do care about my fellow man; that's why I didn't mention the doughnuts."
Everyone in the room laughed - which made her even more angry. She stormed out of the room.
